n“Did you see anyone?”

nFang Qiu paused for a moment.

n

n

n

nThen, she said with a puzzled look, “No, I didn’t.”

n“Okay.”

nThe security guard did not have time to question her any further. Losing sight of Li Ran was already a big deal.

nCui Chong came soon after.

n

n

nHe pushed the door of the abandoned room open and entered. Cui Chong saw Li Ran making a gesture of some sort.

nShe was so focused that the sudden sound of the door opening gave her a fright.

nWhen she saw that it was Cui Chong, Li Ran immediately stood up and clasped the iron ball in her hand.

nShe quickly said, “You want to use this room? Then I’ll leave.”

n

n

nLi Ran hastily walked out. She had a bad feeling that something would happen.

nHowever, Cui Chong darted forward and grabbed Li Ran’s arm.

nLi Ran instantly panicked and reflexively covered her stomach. She was afraid that she would fall over and hurt the baby.

nCui Chong saw this as an opportunity to take advantage of her.

nHe covered Li Ran’s mouth with a cloth that he had prepared earlier.

nLi Ran’s eyes widened and she kicked Cui Chong with her right foot!

n

n

nWhen Cui Chong tried to dodge her attack, the cloth in his hand fell to the ground.

nThere was a very strong smell coming from the cloth.

nLi Ran had already inhaled whatever it was.

nShe glared at Cui Chong angrily and asked, “What was that?!”

nCui Chong smiled sinisterly.

n“You’re smart, so you should know. It’s nothing. I just want to weaken you. By the way, feel free to shout all you want.”

nCui Chong then mouthed another three words, “I’m not afraid.”

nLi Ran’s eyes darkened when she looked at the door. There were two men guarding it.

n

n

nShe did not know when the drug would take effect.

nSo, she had to escape as soon as possible!

nShe might lose her life!

nLi Ran clutched the iron ball in her hand.

nMeanwhile, Cui Chong got close to her and grabbed her waist.

nHe buried his head into Li Ran’s neck and took a deep breath.

nThen, he muttered to himself, “I didn’t expect you to smell so good.”

nLi Ran did not care about what Cui Chong was doing.

nHowever, her eyes were filled with shock and confusion!

nShe could not enter the mysterious space!

n…

nWhen Li Hui found Lin Nan, he was reading a message sent by the receptionist at the entrance. This had become his daily routine. His most important task was to read all the feedback. Whenever someone entered the safety base, he would check their names.

nLin Nan desperately wanted to see Li Ran’s name.

n

n

nHowever, he never did.

nLi Hui rushed to him and shouted excitedly, “Brother Nan, I saw a person who looked exactly like Li Ran! Do you want to go and take a look?”

nShe did not mention that this person’s name was Li Tao.

nIf she did, Lin Nan might not want to see her.

nLin Nan stood up from his chair.

nHe promptly asked Li Hui, “Where is she?”

n“I asked a security guard to keep track of her. He only told me a rough idea of the direction. Let’s go.”

n“Okay.”

nLin Nan kept asking Li Hui questions on the way, such as what did she look like.

nThis was the first time Li Hui had ever spoken so much to Lin Nan.

nIt was also the only time that Lin Nan talked about anything other than work.

nLi Hui felt that she had done the right thing, but she did not expect the security guard to lose sight of her.

nLin Nan was breathing rapidly because of how fast he was walking. It made Li Hui nervous. She was afraid that they might not find Li Ran.

nSuddenly, a woman’s scream could be heard.

nIt was filled with anger.

nHearing the scream gave Li Hui a scare. She looked in the direction where the sound was coming from.

nJust as she was about to turn her head towards Lin Nan, he had already rushed over like a wild horse!

nLi Hui followed closely behind.

n‘Could it be that Li Ran was in danger?

n‘This voice…’

nAs Lin Nan ran, he bumped into a woman.

nIt was Fang Qiu.

nShe was shocked to see Lin Nan and screamed again.

nHer sharp voice was just as loud as before.

nAfter seeing her, Lin Nan stopped in an instant. Although there was a difference in voice, it could be the distance between them…

nThe woman in front of him cried and sat on the ground without saying a word.

nLi Hui finally caught up with Lin Nan and she was panting. She was not physically fit. Li Hui was never a person who enjoyed exercising.

n“Ah!!!!! I’m so angry!!!”

nFang Qiu plucked up some weeds beside her and threw them to the ground!

nShe was extremely angry!

n“Why!”

nShe did not understand! The person who was supposed to destroy Li Tao was her. Not Cui Chong! Just why?!

nHer entire life was in shambles!

n“Li Tao! I hate you! I hate you to death!!!”
